    Welcome to Screen Time Stewardship.

    “Screen time stewardship” is a thoughtful, values-based approach to managing digital device use—especially in homes, schools, and communities. Rather than simply limiting screen time, stewardship emphasizes intentionality, balance, and responsibility in how we engage with screens.

    It’s about asking:

    ● What purpose does this screen time serve?

    ● Is it enriching, connecting, or numbing?

    ● How does it align with our values, goals, and well-being?

    ● How does cultivating this practice apply to other technologies as well?

    In practice, screen time stewardship might look like:

    ● Co-creating family or classroom media plans that prioritize quality over quantity.

    ● Modeling mindful tech use—pausing to reflect before picking up a device.

    ● Encouraging digital citizenship and critical thinking about online content.

    ● Making space for offline experiences that nurture creativity, movement, and connection.

Requirements

  • This course is open to anyone who has an interest and desire. They are no prerequisites-just the volition to be a positive steward of technology.

Description

This course invites participants into a thoughtful exploration of how screens shape their time, attention, and relationships. Rather than approaching digital wellness with guilt or rigid rules, the course offers a reflective space where individuals can audit their current screen habits, identify patterns that support or undermine their well-being, and reconnect with their core values around focus, presence, and connection. Participants will engage with evidence-based insights on brain development, habit formation, and attention ecology, paired with practical tools they can use in everyday settings—whether parenting, teaching, collaborating, or simply living more deliberately.


Grounded in both self-compassion and systemic awareness, the course empowers learners to move from passive consumption toward intentional engagement. They’ll explore strategies for boundary-setting, tech/life balance, and relational tech use, ultimately crafting their own stewardship plan for sustainable screen habits. Whether you’re navigating your own relationship with devices or supporting children and students in theirs, this course offers a framework for digital decision-making that honors humanity over algorithms, and possibility over default. It’s not about perfection—it’s about choosing, noticing, and evolving with intention.


Participants will be exposed to diverse resources and a variety of tools to support their own development of a practical and personalized guide to their own screen time stewardship guide.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to cultivate better boundaries with their devices and be a better role model for future generations.
